Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer S$115 to pay you S$673. In other words, every time you spend S$10 of your hard-earned money, S$3.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.4% tax rate now rises to 27.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make S$8,076 a year living in Singapore, you will be taxed S$1,246. That means that your net pay will be S$6,830 per year, or S$569 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.4% and your marginal tax rate is 60.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of S$100 in your salary will be taxed S$60, hence, your net pay will only increase by S$40.
Bonus Example
A S$1,000 bonus will generate an extra S$400 of net incomes. A S$5,000 bonus will generate an extra S$2,000 of net incomes.
